To coincide with the release of the latest Energy Industry Update, ScottMadden joined forces with Energy Central to present an interactive webinar, “ScottMadden’s Energy Industry Update – Neither Fish nor Fowl.” During this session, our industry experts shared their views and fielded questions related to the energy transitions in Texas and Hawaii and cybersecurity information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).
HR needs to position themselves to add value to the business by thinking strategically about talent and to show they understand the business’s strategy and needs. This need has driven certain HR trends, with one of them being People Analytics.
ScottMadden recently joined forces with Energy Central to present an interactive webinar, “ScottMadden’s Fall 2015 Energy Industry Update – Strange Brew: Adapting to Changing Fundamentals.” This session, moderated by Stuart Pearman, partner and energy practice leader at ScottMadden, was based on ScottMadden’s latest Energy Industry Update, a semi-annual publication featuring our view of recent significant events and emerging trends, received by more than 10,000 industry leaders.
For most companies the procure-to-pay or P2P process has evolved to where upstream processes (the world of sourcing and purchasing) and downstream processes (the world of accounts payable) are managed by different organizations and are largely disconnected at key integration points. These disconnects drive rework, inefficiency, frustration, and overall higher costs to serve.
More than 50 percent of companies have evolved to some form of Global Business Services (GBS) to improve and standardize delivery of support services, leverage infrastructure to scale quickly, and realize savings opportunities. GBS often yields 5 to 20 percent more cost savings than those achieved from traditional shared services.
There are many factors that contribute to the path you take on a GBS journey and the degree of benefit you will achieve. Learn about the differences between traditional shared services operations and GBS, success factors, and common challenges with this informative video. In it, Brad DeMent, partner and finance and accounting practice leader at ScottMadden, explores what you should consider and what you can expect from GBS.
Taking your organization through an HR transformation can be a challenging journey with complex stages ranging from strategy definition to change management and stabilization. In this video, we share insights about overcoming many of the HR transformation hurdles that we have gained from 15 years of experience across many aspects of the HR transformation process.
